When we struggle with a sin, an addiction, or an unhealthy behavior, we tend to run from God, not run to Him. We can’t imagine that a perfect God could even look at us, let alone love us.
The truth is this…The hero in our story is God and the theme is grace.
I once had a great Christian counselor say to me, “Jesus loves you, this I know, for the Bible tells me so”. (If you went to Sunday School as a child, you sang these exact lyrics). She said that as we grow up, we make it harder than that.
The simple truth is God loves us unconditionally.
There are so many people in the Bible that did great things for God, but also did some pretty awful things, or struggled with life’s stuff. God redeemed their stories.
God can redeem your story too. God is greater than any sin, addiction, or disorder. Job 42:2 says. “I know God can do all things, no purpose of His can be thwarted.”
God hears you, God loves you, God is with you, and God is for you. Even in the middle of anything that you are struggling with. He is not waiting for you to get it all together before He can be all that for you.
